Carol, is an "A" card a green card?  Sounds like student is applying as a
dependent of a resident parent.  My understanding is that a student's
immigrant status is not an issue if a resident parent can prove that the
student is a dependent.  Assuming mother has a green card and can prove date
of application (1/4/99) as well as student's dependent status (98 income tax
return), student still would not be eligible until winter 2000 (12 months
from date of application).   I don't believe stepfather's residency is a
factor unless he claimed student on his 98 income tax return with mom; his
citizenship certainly is not a factor.

That's how I'd approach it, anyway.

I have a dependent who's mother WAS here on a student visa.  Since then
she has married a US citizen and they own a home here.  on 1/14/99 she
applied for her "A" card and was given an Alien Number.  The dependent
went to school and graduated from high school here.  When he was 18 he
had to return to Canada.  He has returned!!!  On 5/4/99 he applied to
INS and has been given an Alien Number.  BUT....the card he presented
was an Employment Authorization that is valid  5/4/99 and EXPIRES
5/3/2000.  What ever does this mean?  Can he be a resident for tuition
purposes? Mom has not sent a copy of her Resident Alien Card.  Does the
stepfather's being a resident/citizen count.
